Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Harlem Renaissance as the vehicle for publicizing black art to a wider white audience.
2. Define artistic development as embracing painting, sculpture, drama, and literature.
3. Note that black high art had existed for decades but the concentration of artists in New York City's Harlem district, and the media saturation of the city, led to the mass marketing of elite black art for the first time in museums and galleries. White patrons provided steady support for black artists during the era.
4. Conclude that black culture had long fascinated whites through film, theater, and other genres. The use of African motifs by black artists in the 1920s further provided an exotic appeal of black art to white audiences.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Identify black leaders as W.E.B. Du Bois, Monroe Trotter, Marcus Garvey, and A. Phillip Randolph.
2. Explain that some black leaders continued the call to go back to Africa to escape racism and cultivate a pan-African national identity. These leaders had become frustrated with the lack of gains in civil rights and the rise in violence against blacks.
3. Note that Du Bois and Garvey continued to call for pan-African cooperation in arriving at a location in Africa to settle blacks from around the globe.
4. Explain that most African American leaders, including Du Bois, felt that racism must be conquered first in the U.S. where most African Americans wanted to remain as American people.
